Kashmir Valley capital in a high mountain valley at 1,585m elevation — famous for Dal Lake houseboats and Mughal-era gardens (Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh). Lal Chowk is the city center; Boulevard Road along Dal Lake is where most long-stay travelers base. Same India e-Tourist visa story as Delhi (180 days/year, no DNV). The structural draws are alpine summer climate (June-August peaks 24-30°C while Delhi hits 45°C+), houseboat-stay culture, and proximity to Ladakh and Gulmarg (winter skiing). Internet can be unreliable; political-security situation requires caution.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
